Soil Building Work Shown On Farms
Forty farmers and vocational agriculture students visited the farms of Dana Hoffman near Tuppers Plains and Wilbert Parker near Sumner to study a soil building and farm management program. The program, including lime and fertilizer use, has transformed these farms from liabilities to productive units. Hoffman expanded from two cows in 1938 to 21 head, with nine mature milk cows, while Parker increased from four cattle in 1937 to 12 mature cows, two yearlings, and three calves. Lime applications ranged from two to four tons per acre with phosphorus and potash used on wheat and alfalfa mixes. On pasture, lime stayed the same with higher phosphorus. Assisting were F. J. Reed, Howard Wells, C. N. Jones, Howard C. Nolan, and C. E. Blakeslee.
